Happy New Year!

 

Wishing everyone near and far a prosperous, happy and healthy New Year!

Vincent's Happy Holidays

 

This was made for me, featuring a photo of Vincent, by a dear friend (Linda, AKA Zoetawny) a few years back. Being a cat inside a safe and loving home, Vincent himself always has happy holidays -- full of cat treats, cat naps, canned food with gravy that he likes to lick the gravy off and leave the chunks, a shoulder to purr on and cool toys like a peanut to knock around the living room. 

If only all pets had it that good. 

Merry Christmas!

 

Merry Christmas to all of my family and friends, near and far.

(I haven't been able to get Vincent to wear his Santa suit for years now, so this is far from a new photo of him!)

A Horrifying Accident

 

In today's news, there's been a tragic accident at the North Pole. Rumor has it that the jolly old fellow imbibed a bit too much. Parents are asked to reschedule their family activities until December 27th to allow for recovery (and/or replacement) time.

Santa Has Issues

 

Oh my gosh, Jolly Ol' St. Nick laughed his head off when he saw my wish list for Christmas! I didn't think it was THAT funny.

All I wanted was a Lamborghini.

Reefs for Sale

 

Reefs for sale.

Um.

Okay.

Do you have any coral reefs?

I always wanted a coral reef.

Pardon the Zamboni

 

What you never see on television -- the Zamboni cleaning the ice on the rink at Rockefeller Center.

My work in investigative reporting is done here.

Eek, it's Clifford!

 

He just better have had his shots!

I'm not giving him a tip.

He's LEERING at me!

Rockin' it at Rockefeller Center

 

Yes, it's a different tree each year. But, in the end, it's all pretty much the same year to year. I've been more than a handful of times to the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree and each time the crowds overwhelm what should be a magical sight. The decorations are always the same. So, I'll just recycle the photos I've taken and avoid the crowds.

Jackie-style Christmas

 

Happy Holidays, Jackie-style.

Believe

 

The Christmas decorations at Macy's in Manhattan with the Empire State Building lighted up in the background. I couldn't BELIEVE that actually lined up that well for the shot!

Heehee. I crack myself up.

There's Been an Accident

 

How tragic!

Oh, Balls!

 

Yes, yes they are.

Neon Lights and a Wreath

Sad Santa

 

Dejected, rejected and neglected ... Santa sits alone in the crowd by Radio City Music Hall.
